TRAILER LOADING CHECKLIST
1. Place all cockpit & pilothouse cushions below on island berth.
2. Remove canvas from Bimini, detach aft legs and hinge the main hoop
forward against the hardtop. Secure the short legs, pad the main hoop where
it touches the hardtop (AC hose) secure the hoop to handrails with fender
whips.
3. Hinge down VHF antenna and reverse tape it to starboard handrail.
4. Hinge down running light and tighten.
5. Remove any KVH or FLIR tower and seal hardtop openings and wire
connections. Wrap domes and strut in blanket and securely park it in a
pilothouse locker$or the shower, braced with throw pillows.
6. Max height over road is 13’6” which works for standard radar dome if bolted
to hardtop without strut.
7. Wrap plastic around horn trumpets to avoid ingress of water.
8. Face searchlight aft and be sure that the anchor chain grabber is secure.
9. Be sure that all cabinet doors, drawers and fridge are latched securely shut.
10. Do not apply adhesive take directly to any surface particularly ultra leather.
11. Turn off all battery switches and make sure the Mastervolt Control shows
both INVERTER and CHARGER as being “off”.
12. NEVER PERMIT THE BOAT TO BE LOADED STERN FIRST .
13. Shrink wrapping is not recommended as it can do more damage if breaking
loose than it prevents.
14. Provide driver with detailed contact information so that he can remain in
contact with you and the destination yard.
15. In addition to aft and midship supports in locations seen on the previous
page, the boat should be supported under the bow, forward of any straps.
16. We’ve found that with the new zipper and track system that the the
StrataGlass side & aft curtains as well as the interior of the boat is better
protected by leaving the side and aft pilothouse curtains down in place, rather
than trying to remove and roll them up, then trying to find a secure place
below.
17. Lock the companionway door and advise driver and receiving yard where
the key is hidden.
